How are the custom fields in an Able 5 store supposed to import into template fields?
I did a site last week that had custom fields in common for must products, things like upc, title, keyword,description meta. In Able 7, that might have come up with a handful of templates because there were a few custom fields that only a few products had, but most of the products had the same custom fields.
The import created more than 350 templates. Is this supposed to happen?
Would you like the export file from the Able 5 store? I used the error check page before I ran the export using the newest Able 5 client tool to export.

If the name of custom fields are exactly same and most of the products using exact same combination of custom fields then a shared single product template should be created.

However I can Imagine a bug in logic, I think the current logic may be treating the "Size,Color" and "Color,Size" combinations as two different combinations and may be creating two different templates. This might happen because I think (not sure) that we are using the list of custom field names as Key to identify existing template.

OK, thanks. I realize that it would have been a complicated thing to code for.

Judy I would like to see the export file. 350 seems high. It as Naveed states, but I wonder if we could improve this easily. I see no reason we could not build a list of the custom field names, alphebetize them, then build the key we use to identify shared templates in AC55 data.
